Abstract

Background: Despite Pembrolizumab is the new standard of care in metastatic NSCLC with PD-L1 >50%, it was recognized not all patients benefit from it.

We explored the predictive values of both the lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMr) in peripheral blood and baseline SUVmax of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose by the primary tumor in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with metastatic NSCLC treated with Pembrolizumab.
